Tucson showed of its newfound chemistry in Sunday's season opener, beating the Las Vegas Knight Hawks 48-39.
Sugar Skulls coach and general manager Dixie Wooten essentially gutted the roster and only re-signed three players from last season's 6-8 team: All-IFL running back Mike Jones and offensive linemen Kordell Brewster and Antonio Rosales, the latter of whom was released last season after punching an official during a mid-game skirmish.

Neal, a Franklinton, North Carolina native, and Elizabeth City State University product, scored 128 all-purpose touchdowns in two seasons with the Iowa Barnstormers, including a league-best 83 during his MVP campaign in 2019. Wooten was his head coach that year.
“It only gives you one window, so when he was making mistakes as a rookie in camp, he never got down on himself and he never quit.” Wooten said. “He always motivated himself to do the right thing and always asked the right questions.” “I always show him the things that he needs to get better at. That’s what motivates him. He knows he’s a top-of-the-line talent, but he’s here to move up to the next level. So any time we watch film, it’s always about what he did wrong, what he needs to improve on and fix,” Wooten said. “One thing about him is that once we show him what he did wrong, he immediately goes to the field and tries to fix it.
